Solution

The correct option is B Balancing
Arm swing in human bipedal walking is a natural motion, that each arm swings with the motion of the opposing leg. Swinging arms in an opposing direction with respect to the lower-limb reduces the angular momentum of the body, balancing the rotational motion produced during walking. Arm swing also improves the stability and energy efficiency in human locomotion.
